Vis à Vis Byblos was a womenswear line derived from the Italian fashion brand Byblos. It was launched in 1986 by the British duo Alan Cleaver and Keith Varty, who had been responsible for Byblos’s designs. From the late 1980s through the 1990s, it offered ready-to-wear, including jackets and skirts, and shared Byblos’s youthful, colorful direction. It is no longer active as a brand, and items from that period can be found on the vintage market.

Vis à Vis Byblos was a casual line launched in 1986 within the Byblos brand family. In contrast to Byblos’s glamorous and experimental prêt-à-porter, it served to extend the offering in a more everyday, relaxed direction. Because its name includes Byblos and major sources on the brand’s history treat it as a derivative collection of Byblos, it qualifies as a historical sub-line with an independent name, rather than merely a product category or retailer name.
